Timewalking Guide: Ulduar

Patch 7.3.5 introduces a new Timewalking Raid - Ulduar! This is the second Timewalking Raid available, with the first being Black Temple.

Ulduar is Titan complex that serves as a prison for the Old God 尤格-萨隆, The God of Death. It's original version contained tier 8 set pieces as well as many notable items, including the legendary healing mace 瓦兰奈尔，远古王者之锤. The most notable advance that Ulduar brought was the introduction of "Hard Modes" for almost every boss in the instance. Defeating an encounter in its Hard Mode substantially increased its difficulty and award extra pieces of loot with a higher item level. Hard Modes were the inspiration for the different difficulty levels we have nowadays in raids.

Starting the Raid

Timewalking Raids work differently than other raid difficulties. They are only available during their respective Timewalking weeks but, unlike Timewalking dungeon, you must assemble your premade group in order to enter the raid.

After you assemble a group with 10 to 30 people, it is time to enter the raid. In order to do so, the raid leader must travel to 达拉然. There, he or she must talk to , which stays by 奥金 side at the center of the city, to queue the raid group to the Timewalking Raid.

Make sure everyone in the group has the quest , which awards 0 时空扭曲徽章 and require you to finish the Timewalking raid, killing Yogg-Saron.

The Siege of Ulduar

烈焰巨兽 is an unique fight on its own, the whole raid fights while inside vehicles, allowing any player to perform any role during the encounter. During the fight, 烈焰巨兽 will randomly pick a vehicle to be 被追踪, this vehicle must run away and kite the boss, while the others perform their normal roles.

Vehicle Role OverviewEach vehicle has two seats, one driver and one passenger seat, each with unique functions.

Demolisher Driver - Kites the Flame Leviathan and does damage; can light the Choppers' tar on fire.

Demolisher Passenger - Shoots down and salvages pyrite ammo and refills the demolisher; can also load the player into the demolisher to be launched. Players launched on top of the Flame Leviathan can destroy the Turrets there and weaken the boss.

Chopper - Plants inflammable tar and can quickly pick up and heal any players on foot to protect them from danger.

To Overload the Leviathan, all Turrets must be destroyed. 系统关闭 stuns the Leviathan for 20 seconds and increases its damage taken by 50%.

The main source of damage in this fight is the dot damage from 燃铁. Drivers and passengers from Demolishers must work together to keep the debuff stacks active as long as possible.

If the boss is starting to get too fast, make sure to have a couple DPS loaded up in the demolishers so you can 投掷乘客 them into the turrets to stun the boss. After breaking the turrets Choppers must rescue them back to their Demolishers.

Hard ModeEnabling the Flame Leviathan's Hard Mode involves leaving anywhere between 1 and 4 special towers up during the gauntlet event. Leaving each tower up gives an extra 40% health and a powerful ability to the Flame Leviathan - the more towers left "alive", the deadlier the boss becomes. You need to talk to 诺甘农的看门人 at the Expedition Camp to activate the towers in the first place and make the Hard mode possible.

Tower of Nature - Leaving this tower up gives 弗蕾亚的防御结界 to the Flame Leviathan. Freya's Ward deals 13,500 to 16,500 Nature damage to all nearby enemies, and summons Guardians of Nature to surround the enemy. It also buffs the Leviathan with 生命之塔, which decreases fire damage taken by 10%.

Tower of Flames - Leaving this tower up gives 米米尔隆的烈焰 to the Flame Leviathan. Mimiron's Inferno deals 150,000 Fire damage to all nearby enemies and leaves a flaming blaze behind. It also buffs the Leviathan with 烈焰之塔, which increases its fire damage by 50%.

Tower of Frost - Leaving this tower up gives 霍迪尔之怒 to the Flame Leviathan. Hodir's Fury deals 150,000 Frost damage to all nearby enemies and entombs them in ice. It also buffs the Leviathan with an additional 10% health.

Tower of Storms - Leaving this tower up gives 托里姆之锤 to the Flame Leviathan. Thorim's Hammer deals Stormstrike damage to all enemies nearby. Additional damage is taken if directly under the impact location. It also buffs the Leviathan with 风暴之塔, increasing its physical damage by 25%.

熔渣炉 - Charges and grabs a random target and incapacitates them, inflicting moderate Fire damage every 1 second for 10 seconds. If the target survives, they will gain 100% haste for 10 seconds.

Activate Iron Construct - Activates one of the Iron Constructs in the room.

铁铸像 - Iron Constructs brought to ground scorched by Scorch, will gain stackable 高热 buff, which increases their movement speed and haste by 5 per application. If Iron Constructs gain 10 stacks of Heat, they will become 熔化, increasing their haste by 100% and inflicting low Fire damage every 1 second to enemies within 7 yards. Molten Iron Constructs can be brought to water, which causes them to become 脆弱 and unable to perform any action for 20 seconds. Critical strike chance against Brittle Iron Constructs is increased by 50%. If a single attack deals more than 5,000 damage to a Brittle Iron Construct, it will 碎裂, inflicting high Physical damage not mitigated by armor, to enemies within 10 yards. Shattering the Construct causes Ignis to lose a stack of 创世者之力.

米米尔隆 engineered this clockwork giant, who dominates the scrapyard area in 奥杜尔. XT-002 considers himself to be his inventor's son, causing the machine to behave like a young boy.

Abilities

发脾气 - Damages everybody for 10% of their maximum hit points every 1 second, for 8 seconds. This is a channeled spell, which also dazes the affected targets for 2 seconds.

灼热之光 - Causes the target to inflict low damage to the target and other players within 10 yards every 1 second, for 9 seconds.

重力炸弹 - Causes the target to spawn a 重力炸弹 after 9 seconds, which damages the target for high damage and pulls other players within 12 yards and inflicts them with high Shadow damage.

Heart Phase: At 75%, 50%, and 25% XT's 拆解者之心 will become exposed and attackable. It will leak energy, which summons adds - XM-024击打者, XS-013废料机器人 and XE-321爆破机器人. During this 30-second Phase XT will take 100% extra damage through his heart and won't attack.

Be mindful that killing 拆解者之心 will start the Hard Mode, so if you don't want to do that, don't kill it!

When doing the Hard Mode, make sure that 生命火花 are close enough to the raid so all DPS can quickly switch to it.

Hard ModeXT-002 Deconstructor's Hard Mode can be activated during any of the Add Phases. Destroying the exposed 拆解者之心 will heal XT-002 to 100%, stop any adds from spawning and give him several new abilities:

The Antechamber of Ulduar

The Assembly of Iron is a 3-boss fight against 断钢者, 符文大师莫尔基姆, and 唤雷者布隆迪尔. The bosses engage at the same time, so at least 2 tanks will be required. When any of the bosses dies, it heals the still living ones to full health, gives them 25% bonus damage, and grants them additional abilities, all through the buff 增压.

AbilitiesSteelbreaker

高压 - An aura that inflicts low damage to the whole raid every 3 seconds.

熔化冲压 - Inflicts high Nature damage to his target, and deals additional high Nature damage every 1 second, for 4 seconds. Dispellable.

2 Supercharges] 闪电之藤 - Chooses a random target and starts flying towards it. Players near Brundir take low Nature damage every 1 second until they get away. Brundir cannot be stunned or interrupted while casting Lightning Tendrils.

Strategy

压倒能量 must be tanked by a single tank, while the other two are tanked by the second tank.

熔化冲压 has a cast time and it should be interrupted immediately, otherwise, it will likely kill the tank.

Mages should always 法术吸取符文之盾 or it should be dispelled if there is no mage in the group.

Ranged and healers should be spread out when 死亡符文 is about to happen to avoid having too many people on top of it when it spawns. It has a big area of effect.

Tanks should move bosses 能量符文 and DPS should try to stand on top of it to increase their damage.

When doing the Hard Mode, tank swap before 压倒能量 expires, as it will kill any players in a radius around the tank.

唤雷者布隆迪尔 is the easiest boss to kill last. His ultimate ability, to summon 闪电元素 is easily avoidable and his first Supercharge mechanic, 闪电旋风, is interruptible.

Hard ModeThe Hard Mode of this encounter is activated by killing 断钢者 last, causing him to gain 压倒能量, which kills his current tank every 1 minute, giving the raid a short time to finish the encounter once he is the last boss alive.

Hard ModeIn order to activate Thorim's hard mode, you will need to force him into the arena within 3 minutes or less from the end of the pre-Phase. If you manage to do so, 西芙 will aid Thorim with a few abilities of hers. Note that 统御之触 will not be active on hard mode, so Thorim will have more damage and health.

Lifebinder's Gift Summon - Summons an 艾欧娜尔的礼物, which uses 缚命治疗 after ~12 seconds, healing Freya and her allies for 30-60% of their maximum health. Eonar's Gift's 信息素 negates the effect of Conservator's Grip on nearby players.

远古监护者 - Reduces Freya's Attuned to Nature by 30 stacks. Applies 监护者之握 when he spawns, preventing players from attacking or casting spells. Getting under one of the many 健康的孢子s or an 艾欧娜尔的礼物 negates the effect. He will also debuff players with 自然之怒, which cause the debuffed player to damage nearby allies for moderate Nature damage every 2 seconds for 10 seconds.

自然炸弹 - Summons immobile 自然炸弹s around the feet of random raid members. The bombs use 自然炸弹 after a few seconds, inflicting moderate Nature damage to enemies within 10 yards and knocking them back. Used frequently 6 minutes into the fight.

StrategyDuring the fight you will need to deal with six waves of 召唤自然盟友, meaning you will deal with each type twice.

Due to 监护者之握, 远古监护者 should be tanked underneath a 健康的孢子 to prevent that effect. Ranged and Healers should find other 健康的孢子, not necessarily in melee range.

Players might need to leave their 健康的孢子 if they are affected by 自然之怒 near allies.

Hard ModeFreya hard mode can be triggered simply by letting the elders inside her room alive. Unlike Sartharion hard mode, the elders will be 筋疲力尽, making them unable to fight, but will provide the following buffs :

When 突击机器人 dies it will drop 磁核, which can be used bring ACU to the ground, disable it and cause it to take 50% more damage for a few seconds. The 磁核 has to be used underneath the ACU.

Phase 4

During this phase melee DPS will only be able to hit the bottom of the boss, while Ranged kills the middle and the top. All three parts need to die within 10 seconds of each other or they will heal back to 50% and likely cause a wipe.

You will have 8 minutes to kill all 4 Vehicles in order to succeed. 紧急模式 increases Mimiron's health and damage by 30%.

The Descent into Madness

Strange creatures known as faceless ones lurk in the depths of Ulduar. One of their mightiest commanders, General Vezax, guards the twisted passages leading to the Prison of Yogg-Saron.

Abilities

绝望光环 - Prevents most mana regeneration methods. Melee attack speed is reduced by 20% for all raid members as well.

暗影撞击 - Shoots a shadow missile towards a random target (preferring ranged), inflicting 11,310 to 12,690 Shadow damage to the target and anyone in 10 yd radius. A dark puddle spawns under the area of impact, increasing magical damage by 100%, decreasing casting speed by 100%, healing done and mana cost by 75%.

无面者的印记 - Applies a Mark of the Faceless to a random raid member (preferring ranged), causing them to drain a moderate amount of hit points every 1 second, for 10 seconds, from other nearby players. Vezax will heal for 20 times more health than he has drained.

灼热烈焰 - Inflicts high Fire damage to everybody in the room, and reduces their armor by 75%. Can be interrupted.

萨隆邪铁蒸汽 - Throughout the encounter Saronite Vapors will appear at random locations. Killing them drops a green pool that restores mana to all standing on it, but also dealing scaling shadow damage the longer the player stands on it.

萨隆邪铁屏障 - Reduces all damage taken by 99%. Cast if 6 Saronite Vapors spawn and not a single one of them is destroyed. Vezax will also summon a Saronite Animus. The Barrier disappears when the Animus dies.

萨隆邪铁畸体 - Casts 极度黑暗 frequently, which does 750 Shadow damage to the entire raid and increases the Shadow damage taken by 10%.

Strategy

The most important factor in this fight is the lack of 法力值 due to 绝望光环 to all healers. Healing done should be efficient and damage taken avoided.

Players targeted by 无面者的印记 should move out of the group to avoid healing the boss.

The group should have a 3 stage interrupt rotation for 灼热烈焰, with two people assigned for every interrupt should the other fail. Letting one cast off costs a lot of 法力值 on your healers. Warning: it is a fast cast.

Hard ModeIf you allow all 6 Saronite Vapors to spawn without killing them, and while Vezax is still alive, a Saronite Animus will spawn. The Animus will make Vezax immune to damage (but he will not cast Searing Flames). The spawning of the Animus is considered the beginning of the hard mode.

Defeating the Animus is the only way to make Vezax vulnerable again.

萨隆邪铁屏障 - Reduces all damage taken by 99%. Cast if 6 Saronite Vapors spawn and not a single one of them is destroyed. Vezax will also summon a 萨隆邪铁畸体. The Barrier disappears when the Animus dies.

萨隆邪铁畸体 - Casts 极度黑暗 frequently, which does 750 Shadow damage to the entire raid and increases the Shadow damage taken by 10%.

Achievements

我爱萨隆邪铁的清香Glory Achievement - Defeat General Vezax in Ulduar after defeating the Saronite Animus.

暗影躲避者 - Defeat General Vezax in Ulduar without any raid member being hit by Shadow Crash.

Long ago the Titans imprisoned Yogg-Saron deep within 奥杜尔 to save Azeroth from the Old God's destructive power. But after years of plotting, Yogg-Saron has succeeded in corrupting its guards and now the monstrous creature is finally breaking free.

Fittingly, Yogg-Saron's encounter is a complete madness. With three phases and everything happening at the same time, this fight can easily take weeks to master.

Anytime prior the engaging the Old God, you can choose 0-4 Keepers to assist you by talking to their images around the Observation Ring, where you face Auriaya.

疯狂阶梯 - Approximately every 90 seconds, 4-10 portals will open to 尤格-萨隆的大脑. Players taking them may be hit by 疯乱凝视 if they face the laughing skulls around the room.

The Brain Chamber - Players inside the illusions will need to quickly kill the fake NPCs (e.g. 装甲) inside, which will open a passage to the brain room. Attacking the brain will cause 碎裂幻象, which stuns all tentacles outside the brain room. As soon as the portals open, 疯狂诱导 is cast - players need to leave the brain room through portals in it before the cast is over.

Phase 2: Tentacles

重压触须 - 爆发 as they spawn, inflicting low Physical damage, knocking players back. They channel 能量衰减, which reduces the damage of everybody in the raid by 20%. Diminish Power can be interrupted by a melee attack. Attacks against the Crushers buff them with 聚焦之怒, increasing their damage done and attack speed by 3% per application. Lasts 1 second unless refreshed.

缠绕触须 - 挤压 a random target, inflicting moderate Physical damage every 2 seconds. Immunity effects or the death of the tentacles frees the target.

不朽守护者 - Spawned periodically during this Phase. They start with 9 stacks of 强化, which increases their damage by 180% per stack; they lose a stack every 10% of their health. Immortal Guardians stop taking damage when their health reaches 1%, and can be killed only by Thorim.

震耳咆哮 - Inflicts moderate Physical damage and silences the raid for 4 seconds. Only cast with at least one Keeper not active.

Strategy

Phase 1 - Sara the Ally

There are two main strategies for groups on Phase 1: you either will stay at the entrance of the room, far from all Gas Clouds or the group will walk around the Gas Clouds grouped up together. The second method requires your whole group to be coordinated to not trigger extra 尤格-萨隆的卫士.

The main tank should grab all 尤格-萨隆的卫士 available at the moment while the off-tank taunts them off when they got low health and move them near 萨拉, to damage her. Phase 2 starts as she reaches 1 HP.

There should be Ranged DPS assigned to help the off-tank kill low health 尤格-萨隆的卫士.

Phase 2 - Sara the Enemy

Phase 2 introduces the main mechanic of the fight: 理智. It basically limits the amount of mechanics you can be targeted by and can ignore, as all mechanics will decrease your 理智 by a small amount. If you reach 0 理智, you lose your will to Yogg-Saron.

If you have 弗蕾亚 helping you, make sure to run to 理智之井s if your 理智 gets too low.

Ranged and Healers should try to stay spread out around the room so it is easier to avoid players with 心灵疾病.

心智链接 targets should stick together for its duration, unless entering into a Brain Portal. Coordinate your movement while under its effect to minimize 理智 lost.

4-10 players should be assigned beforehand to enter the Brain Room. They should be assigned general directions around Yogg-Saron so they can enter their portals as fast as possible.

If you're assigned to go inside the Brain Room, save all your DPS cooldowns for its second part. Kill all illusions as fast as possible and avoid looking at 疯乱凝视. You have 1 minute total from the moment the Brain Room open to complete it, if you fail to leave, you will fall under Yogg-Saron's will.

The raid should kill off any tentacles left from Phase 2 entering this phase.

不朽守护者 will spawn periodically during this Phase. They should be picked up by tanks and cleaved down by the raid. As their name suggests, they are immortal. Unless you have 托里姆 aiding you! He can kill them with 泰坦风暴.

If 托里姆 is not aiding your group, you still should keep 不朽守护者 at low health points as it reduces their damage done due to 强化.

Tanks should rotate defensive cooldowns everytime Yogg-Saron casts 暗影强化 on the 不朽守护者, as they will be healed back to full HP and start hitting harder.

If there is at least 1 Keeper missing, Yogg-Saron will cast 震耳咆哮, interrupting all spell casting.

If you have 弗蕾亚 helping you, make sure to run to 理智之井s if your 理智 gets too low.

Hard Mode

The Hard Mode in this fight is progressive, with the complete version being defeating it without the help of any Keeper. Completing the fight without the aid of any Keeper enables the drop of 米米尔隆的头部 as well as higher item level loot.

The fight, however, becomes increasingly harder with every Keeper not aiding you, as each makes the fight substantially easier.

Achievements

黑暗中的独影 - Defeat Yogg-Saron in Ulduar without the assistance of any Keepers. This achievement will also grant you 黑暗中的一盏灯 (Glory Achievement), 黑暗中的两盏灯 and 黑暗中的三盏灯

Celestial Planetarium

Loken's death triggered a failsafe mechanism warning the titans that Azeroth had lost its foremost guardian. Algalon the Observer has been sent to examine the situation and, if necessary, transmit a reply-code that will restructure the entire world, wiping out all of its current inhabitants.

Tanks get destroyed in this fight, always have a dedicated tank healer and communicate tank swaps clearly.

During Phase 1, four 坍缩之星 will periodically spawn. They lose life over time and will die at the same time if no damage is dealt to them. You must assign a couple ranged DPS to kill them one by one, making sure no one is near them as they spawn a 黑洞 upon death.

Never kill a 坍缩之星 when 宇宙重击 is happening as their damage combined is likely to kill someone.

有生命的星座 will periodically spawn on Phase 1 and should be used to close unnecessary 黑洞s. They destroy 黑洞s when they enter them. Be mindful to not do that during 大爆炸 as it might close a 黑洞 that was being used by someone.

Tanks will swap when the 5th stack of 相位冲压 happens, as it will phase the other tank. Whenever that happens the tank is sent to the Black Hole dimension for 10 seconds.

Every 1m30s 大爆炸 will happen. Everyone but one person should run inside 黑洞s. One person must stay out and endure the damage from 大爆炸. Good candidates for this are Tanks with strong external cooldowns, like 痛苦压制 or any person with 守护之魂. 死亡骑士 are good candidates with 反魔法护罩 and 冰封之韧. Should 大爆炸 not hit someone, the Raid Destroyer will immediately cast 升天 terminating the encounter.

大爆炸 will only happen three times, the fourth time it will be 升天, giving the fight a hard berserk at 6 minutes.

Phase 2 - 20% to 0%

Phase 2 retains all mechanics from Phase one besides 有生命的星座s and 坍缩之星s. All existing 坍缩之星s and 黑洞s will disappear and four 黑洞s will spawn permanently at the four cardinal points of the room. 暗物质 adds, normally found inside 黑洞s will now come out and need to be tanked by whoever isn't tanking the Raid Destroyer.

Achievements in Ulduar

Ulduar was the second tier of raiding added after the introduction of achievements in patch 3.0. With that being said, it is also the raid that has the most achievements in the game, with multiple different ones for each boss, unlike other raids that usually have only one per boss. There are, however, 13 main achievements that are required to complete its Glory achievement 奥杜尔团队的荣耀 (highlighted on each boss' achievement list). To learn more how to complete every achievement in Ulduar, both during and after Timewalking, check out the Ulduar - The Complete Achiever's Guide.

Pets in Ulduar

The pets that drop in the regular Ulduar also drop in the Timewalking version of this raid. These are part of the 缰绳来袭IV：巫妖王之怒 achievement, which awards 星界邀请函 upon completion.

"Mimiron engineered this clockwork giant, who dominates the scrapyard area in Ulduar. XT-002 considers himself to be his inventor's son, causing the machine to behave like a young boy.

Teron Gorefiend periodically marks a player with Shadow of Death, killing them instantly. The slain player then returns as a Vengeful Spirit, with the unique ability to hinder and destroy Shadowy Construct that will otherwise decimate other players."

WOW :O

Might want to re-read a few strats above. Seems to be a few copy and pasted from Black temple.
